How big is my baby? Pregnancy week by week

This entry was posted on 1:33 pm by Franny.

From the moment you find out you're pregnant, you'll want to know how big your baby is at each stage of development. And thinking of your baby's size in terms of millimetres or centimeters doesn't mean a whole lot. It's far easier to relate the size of your baby to fruits and vegetables, particularly as you see them in the supermarket every time you shop!

Pregnancy week by week: How big is my baby?

Your baby will start out at such a small size, he or she can't be seen with the naked eye. But before long, your baby will be the size of a salt crystal, and then will quickly grow to be as big as a poppy seed. And then the fun begins! Compare your week of pregnancy to the chart below to answer the question "How big is my baby?" in a fun way. Warning: This chart may cause food cravings!
